![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Let me take you through the research that brought us here.In one experiment, we brought people to the fMRI scanner and scanned their brains while they were either telling or listening to real-life stories. Since 2008, in Princeton has been focused on the question: How exactly do the neuron patterns in one person’s brain that are associated with their particular stories, memories and ideas get transmitted to another person’s brain?Through the work in my lab, we believe we’ve uncovered two of the hidden neural mechanisms that enable us the exchange: 1) during communication, soundwaves uttered by the speaker the listener’s brain responses with the speaker’s brain responses 2) our brains have developed a common neural protocol that allows us to use such brain coupling to share information. Human lives revolve around our ability to share information and experiences, and as a scientist, I’m fascinated by how our brains process interpersonal communication. In fact, we already possess such a technology - it’s called effective storytelling. ![]()
